The article is written by Micah Uetricht and Meagan Day of Jacobin magazine. Uetricht is a Bernie-hat-wearing Bernie supporter. So is Day, though I’m not sure about the hat.
They and their Jacobin fellow travelers want America to go full-on socialist. The linked article says they do “not assume that we’ll simply stack up reforms until we look up one day and have socialism.” Oh, happy day! But wishful thinking does not a political majority make.
There is something that they’re right about, and that is this great American political realignment we’re experiencing now. It could be a rejection of the elites of both major parties by the grassroots of both major parties. That gave us Trump four years ago. It may give us Bernie this year. Jeffrey Epstein helped to expose the rot.
This realignment is overdue. It will lead to interesting alliances. Uetricht is tweeting about how the CIA “is rotten to the core and should be disbanded.” Day is saying the same things. Trump supporters who have watched the Deep State sabotage their president would agree.
